Track List

  1. Live in the now
    Live in the day
    Live in the summer
    Listen to sounds
    Listen to waves
    Stay there forever
    You got the time
    You got the brains
    You never use them
    Carry me home
    Carry the weight
    Carry on

    Under the sun

    Live in a cage
    Live in the rage
    Breathe underwater
    Live on the beach
    Live in the sand
    Sleep without shelter
    You won the prize
    You are alive
    You have protection
    Married to the mother of your child
    But there’s no affection

  2. Trying my best but it made me stress
    You were the last one I thought I loved
    From the moment we met, a clear vision hit
    That you’d fit me like a glove
    I had it planned out like an architect
    How we’d move away and so…
    Well, it’s been 3 whole years and I got no tears
    Now, all I think about is you

    I’ve been known well to be alone
    It’s cuz I don’t want to compromise
    I’ve seen my friends all hit the illusion stick
    Just glad I still feel alive
    I’m not sure I’ll be good at this
    Whoever said its black and blue?
    Don’t think I could just let it go yet,
    Cause all I think about is you

    All I know is I’m still caught up in a maze
    I don’t do well with commitment or the adolescent phase
    I know I want to change it but there’s nothing I can do
    Still got these bones, flesh for home and all I think about is you

  3. I was on a bicycle circling the ave.
    Went headfirst into a wall
    Shoveling the snow away
    Pictures that were buried under rhinestone
    Barebones

    In the backyard
    This is just a place where I met some bird on a wire
    In the backyard
    Sitting on a bench as I wait for you to transpire

    Back to 2143
    Thinking about the time I used to be so scared
    That I must hold on tight to Rocky’s leash
    Skating on the ice until I slipped hard
    Concussed

    All I could do is stay there with you
    All I could be is lost memory

  4. Helpless, now you need to carry on
    Moments from the bullet and the gun
    No ones gonna tell you how to live
    In a box of old film negatives

    From the inside you’re a hollow shell
    Turn me over, she will cast a spell
    All the things you think you own
    All the people that you’ve known
    All your friends knew you would change
    Let your life just slip away

    Sleepless, are you meant to sleep all day?
    Wash the smell, the hell you need to pay
    Dig a hole straight into the ground
    The good life lies in the lost and found

    From the inside I’m a hollow shell
    Turn me over, he will cast a spell
    All the things I thought I owned
    All the people that I’ve known
    All my friends knew I would change
    Let my life just slip away
    All your friends knew you would change
    Let your life just slip away

  5. Felix was a friend of mine from ’85 to ’89
    Back when life was so naive and simple
    He lived in a shady neighborhood
    The boy was never understood
    Passed the tests but grades were never good

    Felix, can you tell me are you alright?
    I got some catching up to do with you
    I know I failed at being a friend
    It took me to the bitter end
    So, I see some patching up to do

    We was playing with our wrestling toys
    Imagination had a voice
    I believed that staying young’s a choice
    If I could take you back in time
    I’d say I’m sorry and out of line
    Listen kid, you were a friend of mine

    Felix, do you remember how we sat there,
    Racing cars and trucks to pass the time?
    Even as a kid I was afraid to fight you just because
    You were the strongest one I ever knew

    Breaking televisions, playing fetch and catch outside
    Maps and treasures, ten more letters saying “I apologize”

  6. Been waiting around 8 months to die
    It’s gonna hit us any day now and we don’t know why
    The Nursing homes and the hospitals don’t lie
    You were a big brave heart from the very start
    Sailing on an iceberg as we drift apart
    A life cut short at the age of 55

    No, I can’t go to anymore funerals
    A bleak reminder, how long are we going to live?

    12 years old there was nothing to lose,
    We were finger pickin’ rhythms Kings Highway blues
    You always were like a second mother to me
    From a late diagnosis to comatose
    It was difficult to process till we gave up hope
    Now this heavy medication’s gonna take its toll on me

    No, I can’t go to anymore funerals
    It’s a superficial self indulging scene

    I keep telling myself that you’re in a better place
    After all the pain you’d been through, you left without a trace.
    Heartbreaks and the memories, was it just a passing phase?
    You were beautiful and someone I could never replace.

  7. Empty concert halls and late phone calls
    I will be the good son
    Concrete walls in dirt cheap malls
    I will be the good one

    I’ll do my best to be around
    and promise not to let you down
    I’ve tried to make you proud since I first left you

    As the madness burns the midnight oil
    I will be the good son
    As I walk this lonely world in toil
    I will be the good one

    I’ll do my best to call tonight
    I will be the good son
    And I’ll let you know I’ll be alright
    I will be the good one

  8. Doing what I’m never told
    Fighting time, I’m getting old
    I know it’s true
    Ignorance is happiness
    I can’t lie I’m starting to miss the days with you

    Sitting in a living room I’m spitting out my life
    A home inside a fairy tale, Imaginary wife
    I could never get it right
    So, where do I belong?
    Will I surrender to you?

    They told me I would find the one
    Waiting under the setting sun
    Just storylines
    Been living in the biggest lie
    Where all succumb to 9 to 5
    I am their satellite

    Will I ever get some sleep?
    I’m turning out the light
    My mind is racing overtime
    While day turns into night
    I’ll never take my medicine
    But maybe now׳s the time
    Should I surrender?
    Yes I surrender
    My life could matter with you

  9. I think about you whenever I’m in need of a muse
    Down and under the weather cuz I’m holding your noose
    And it seems like nobody wants your lucky charm
    Always waiting to catch you, open arms
    I can see you’re exhausted, there’s a tell on your face
    Now the dead horse is beating you, the one you refuse to replace

  10. We’re both so incomplete
    I’m paper, you’re butterfly
    Heart broke, we choke
    I’m already yours
    Blank canvas, quantum leap
    I’m sailing your colored seas
    Unsure, we cure
    No way to endure

    I’ll hover on your air
    You’re smart enough to care
    So, Open up tell me
    Just don’t waste your time
    Atleast you’re being alive

    Jaywalker on your street
    A floater beneath your feet
    Blue skies, false tries
    No room for the lies
    We’re both so incomplete

  11. Stating the obvious
    Covered in black
    Have I made up, made up my mind?
    Nothing here aligns in the same way more than twice
    It’s a long intermission and I’m losing ambition
    The junction where I can’t decide
    Anybody can recognize
    Use your eyes

    I’m a hopeless romantic and a failed automatic
    Living by the side of the road
    Tell me, when did my livelihood go so cold?

    Stolen identity kept in a box
    I’m a stranger to love at first sight
    When did I become so crazy?
    You just might
    We’re addicted to this being alone
    Have we made it to the finish mark?
    Lamp light turns into dark

    I’m the wrong kind of person in an optic illusion
    A late night reading a book
    Won’t you take a look
    Am I visible?

  12. I don’t want to live in adulthood
    Reaping all the years from my childhood
    Riding on a mat down a staircase
    Crashing into life like a new wave
    Years were passing by as the time stood
    Rolling in the filth used to feel good
    The child in me is hanging by a thread of hope
    Safer in the swing of a jumprope

    Hey now,
    Hurts to know that we’re all unveiling our debris
    Hey now, If you go let me know if heaven’s above me
    I don’t want to live in adulthood

    I will never say “when I was your age”
    I’m still a punk inside, I’ll never hide the rage
    As long as I move on I’ll get through it
    And when my body breaks , I’ll say screw it.
    Slashing through my heart like a fish hook
    The deep cuts of my life in a songbook
    It’s hard to see them fade or just disappear
    One day it will be me and I’ll be outta here.

    Hey now,
    Hurts to know someday soon you may be leaving
    Hey now, If you go let me know your struggle by all means but,
    I don’t want to grow up

    How can I go on?
    Life won’t let me
    I can’t see Hanna cry
    It upsets me
    I share myself with you
    I’m an open book
    The story of my youth is my outlook
    And I’ll never wear a skin that I’m not used to
    Growing old is hard, why do we have to?
    Transitioning to some is a closed door
    I won’t replace a wound with an open sore

    Hey now,
    Hurts to know that we’re all unveiling our debris
    Hey now, If you go let me know if heaven’s a real thing
    I don’t want to live in adulthood
